A comprehensive constitutive law for waxy crude oil: a thixotropic yield stress fluid

Guided by a series of discriminating rheometric tests, we develop a new constitutive model that can quantitatively predict the key rheological features of waxy crude oils. We first develop a series of model crude oils, which are characterized by a complex thixotropic and yielding behavior that stron...
